“What is your favorite memory of the last six years? Since Egan’s been born?”
His question startled her, and she frowned at the way it
made it her think. Tapping her finger atop the table as he lifted his wineglass to his lips, she pondered it.
“I think,” she admitted quietly, “it was a few months before Egan’s fourth birthday, and he woke up incredibly happy. He was cuddled up next to me and he asked me what his brother’s name was. I’d never mentioned him having a brother. He was only three, so he wasn’t drawing intricate pictures of anything other than scribbles and stuff, so I hadn’t realized he was dreaming of Roan yet. I lost him when I was
fourteen weeks pregnant, so it never dawned on me Roan was a spirit. Then he said his brother asked him what his name was. At first, I thought it was simply a dream, and it didn’t mean anything but then he said it wasn’t my fault I
fell down the stairs and how his brother really missed me. To
know Egan was connecting me to him,” she let out a shaky breath, “it was life changing for me. Egan and I talked a long time about what name to give his brother and we agreed to

“But if you’re only asking a question about Roan?”
“But if Roan doesn’t have the answer and goes in search of it and brings something back, it’s a problem.

“How often do you get messages?”
“For me it’s never often enough but usually once a month
or every six weeks. Egan said before Roan finds it draining to his spirit to relay messages. It uses energy. They communicate telepathically to play but when it’s a message meant for me, Egan says Roan speaks to him out loud. The same with my Dad.”
